No swim, due to really poor water conditions, and too much contamination!

I thought my T1 was good, but the winner of my age group, and several other of my age-groupers did T1 in like 30 seconds or less! Unbelievable.

I'm not quite sure.

I felt really good while on the bike. I really felt strong, especially using the aerobars,gear changes, and hill climbing. Looking at my overall placement especially in the male division, it's really disheartening.

Not quite sure. I was pushing almost as hard as I could.

Again, I felt like I sped through this, but was rewarded with almost a minute of transition. Unbelievable.

I probably needed to get to the site much earlier, and set my transition area up closer to the entrance/exit of the transition area. I was way at the back, and this slowed me down, probably by 30 seconds each transition.

This was one of my strongest finishes ever. I felt really "overhydrated" at the beginning, and I almost heaved. but, I pushed through it. The last 1 mile I had a fellow age grouper drafting me, and then the last 1/4 mile he sped up to pass. It was a sprint to the finish, and he outlasted me by 1 second. Pretty exciting.

I think that I need to take my shirt/jersey off during the run, but it's difficult to do with a sweaty bike jersey on. Also, I would suck down a gel packet with about 1-2 miles to go on the bike. I almost bonked on the run.

Almost pass out. Pour lots of water on myself. Drink some accelerade, eat a banana, and a stinger gold packet.


Not enough fuel to push through at the end. Also, I had not practiced for a Duathlon before, and the run-bike was difficult to pace.


I didn't find out the swim was cancelled until packet pick up the day before the race. It was a big bummer dude. I really wanted to work on my open water swimming, but I didn't get to.
